We can’t just be against Trump. It’s time for a bold, progressive populism | Robert Reich

Demonstrations against Donald Trump have grown stronger, signaling widespread discontent. However, reversing his regressive policies requires adopting progressive populism to address economic inequality and systemic corporate influence. Despite declining trust in institutions like Wall Street and Congress, economic gains have disproportionately favored the wealthy, highlighting the need for structural changes. A progressive movement could involve strengthening democracy by breaking up big corporations, ending Wall Street gambling, reducing political corruption, and redistributing wealth through taxes to fund social programs like Medicare and paid family leave.
